Lady McBeth is a gothic reimagining based on the Shakespeare play. A story told by the leading villianess herself. Not everything is as it seems.
First we are introduced to Roscille. Multilingual, great memory, and clever.
She was seen as a witch or as witch-cursed due to her unnatural beauty.
It's said her eyes could give her power over men.
In this quick read in the older style there are many feelings of eeriness, masterful planning attempts, twisted moments, and darkness. It's dramatic. Tragic.
I love all of the supernatural elements included within the tale. It truly takes a dark turn that will have you fascinated.
Be sure to check all trigger warnings ahead of time.
